Good for you!!I'm done.

I think this problem arises from the fact that:(a) The installation notes refer to the Load Manager being placed on the desktop (which is wasn't in my case, even after a re-install)(:( Although there is a PMDG folder, and yes, even sub-folders for each plane, the load managers are in the main PMDG folder rather than in (the more logical) plane's sub-folder.Consistency of approach is all that's needed. If a program installs sub-folders, then install everything related to the product in its own sub-folder. Or at the very least get the documentation to tally with what actually happens.And on the subject of the forums, there are currently 886 pages covering all PMDG's products. Surely that's enough to warrant a sub-forum for each?

Dave,Look in ...Flight Simulator 9PMDGThe file is called 747400_LoadManager.exeSeems the PMDG installer takes its cue from these forums and just thows everything into the same big pot. Presumably so us users can have "fun" searching through everything to find what we want.

Erm....Uninstalled.Redownloaded.Re-Installed.Still no Load Manager on the desktop, but this time found it in the main PMDG folder.

Thanks.Strange that the sales pages are sub-divided, the downloads are sub-divided, the liveries are sub-divided but the forum is one big heap, where searching for load manager returns nearly 400 results!Oh dear, I was afraid of that! The download speed from PMDG is incredibly slow for me - Currently chugging away at 50KB/sec on a 2Mb connection (and my download speed for other sites is ok at the moment).Thanks again, I'll just have to wait....

Hi!Just installed the 747-400 and searched the entire forum for an answer, but couldn't find the answer!I have no Load Manager. Have I missed something, and the Load Manager is installed via a separate download?Nothing on the desktop, nothing in the PMDG folder, nor the aircraft folder.Secondly, given that PMDG now has quite a few products, would it not be sensible to sub-divide the forum so that it's easy to search/browse under a particualr topic?ThanksNige

Vin,Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the replies!Looks like a bug then, or rather 2:1. VC panel light comes on automatically at night. Therefore, switching from VC to 2D switches the 2D panel light on.2. No Dome Light in 2D view.I won't hold my breath for a fix though. Now that PMDG are busy with the new baby!!

Me again!Could someone do me a favour and let me know if you get this problem? Then I can stop worrying about it if it's a limitation rather than a specific problem with my set-up!Thanks

Hi!I have the 737NG (and the 800-900 update), and have noticed the following:At night, when switching from VC back to the 2D panel, the panel lights are automatically switched on! I switch them off and return to the VC - when I switch back to 2D mode, the panel lights are on again.In the VC, on the overhead, switching the dome lights on has no effect on the 2D panel ligthing. Switching the panel lights on in the VC switches off the Dome light and vice-versa.In the 2D panel, the Dome Light is not operational.Is this a bug, a known limitation or am I doing something wrong please?Either way it makes it much harder to fly at night!Thanks
